I'm putting Gravity's rainbow on hold because I've read it before.
I picked up a copy of infinite jest yesterday, so reading that now.

not an Ayn Rand fan, bob?

I have the Illuminatus Trilogy and haven't read it - maybe next. 'Sex with apples' is too curious a thing to ignore.

Currently reading a bunch of Javascript/Java books... it ain't fun, but necessary.

I'm really enjoying Along The Enchanted Way, a travel memoir about the Romanian countryside. Fascinating stuff, makes me really want to visit there.

Have you read World War Z? If yes, how does Day by Day stack up?

A lot of people who have read both were disappointed with Day by Day based on the online reviews I've read.

Gravity's Rainbow

Well I decided to give this one a go because I'm pretentious and I hear this book is too, so we already have that in common. It doesn't seem too bad so far (I've been writing down characters as they come, because I hear that's one of the more difficult elements of the novel), but we'll see how far I get. If anything, I can just sit back and soak in the beautiful language.

Good luck. If you make it through you are a better man than I.
